A sparkling branch covered in dew-kissed blossoms served as the inspiration for this brooch. Four rose cut diamonds lend the brooch a nostalgic luster. The rose cut, known since the 16th century but rarely used today, features triangular facets that give the diamond a very special, distinctive sparkle. It is a shimmering, subtle glow that was once meant to reveal its beauty especially by candlelight—since the cut dates back to a time before the use of electricity. The brooch bears a Dutch hallmark, and it came to us from the city of Leiden. Known as “takbroche” (branch brooches), floral brooches set with rose-cut diamonds were extremely popular there in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A typical example of its kind, this brooch is forged from silver and features a gold clasp and pin.
